God's Love vs. The World's Love {Guest Post}

I have something special to share with all of you from one of my closest blogging friends. She is such a great inspiration and role model to me and so many others. Feel free to check out her blog (God's Daughter) I totally recommend it!

“And
now abide these three: faith, hope and love.But the greatest of these is love.”

-
1 Corinthians 13:13

I’m
a true romantic.But the love talked
about in this verse is the truest of true romantic loves.The romance of the world is very often
misshaped and selfish and not able to withstand the many abusive blows it
receives.

But
the love of God...now that is the purest kind.Completely selfless, immensely sacrificial, unstoppable, a burning and
unquenchable passion, a jealous and unchanging love.This makes it the strongest possible
kind.And one that is so
incomparable.It can’t be bought, it is
only given.It is never manipulated, but
given with grace.And it can never, ever
be broken.The truth is, not even death
can contain, limit or abolish this awesome love of God.

Our
relationship with God is a romance.And
a greater romance has never been told.It’s a romance that is eternal, not like the world’s.It’s a romance that is infinite.It was being formed before the universe was spoken
into existence.And it began with the
powerful love we were just talking about.That same love is the one, the same power that sustained Christ when He
gave up His last breath on the cross to save the chosen sinners.That love is woven and knit into each of the
souls of His elect.And He is constantly
wooing us and romancing us through blessings that He continually pours out on
our lives.When no human stands with us
through a storm, He is always there.When we experience heartache and pain, He remains faithful.This love bears all things, believes all
things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

As
God’s child, are you rebelling against the world’s standards of love and
showing the true colors of love?The
love that He manifested in smiting His own Son to die in your stead?
